‘Take off your backpack,’ demands the guard. ‘Show me the contents, and be quick about it!’

You take off your backpack, open the flap and invite him to inspect what you are carrying.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table (0 = 10). The items on your Backpack list are numbered 1–10. The guard will confiscate the item that is the same as the random number you have picked (erase the item now). If the random number matches an empty slot, he will confiscate the first item on your list instead and you must erase it.

Finally, he is satisfied that you can enter Dwala. You close your backpack and put it back on, then he steps aside and allows you to pass through the south gate.

Turn to 190.
